I shot this little guy a year ago for his newborn photos and it was so fun to see him again for his 1st birthday. His gorgeous red hair and lots of smiles!
By the end this little guy was done…but I love this shot!

I apologize for not updating my blog enough…I will try to get a couple more sneak peeks up today. This week has been spent meeting with a ton of clients for wall art. Oh my gosh there are some gorgeous things that we have been working on. I would love to get some images up of them but I am already behind on the blogging end. Anyway, the deadlines are approaching to order frames/canvas for Christmas. The deadline for canvas is November 20th. The deadline for framing is December 1st.

I have had the most gorgeous newborns lately! Here is another new baby that I have the pleasure of taking pictures of last week. G and T, I apologize for the delaying in getting a sneak peek out to you. I should have the rest up soon!

On that note…I am finally beginning to get back on top of things…okay, just as I gear up for a heavy couple of months. This year I cannot take all of the credit though. I decided to bring in an assistant this season to help me get through this very busy time and still continue to offer you exceptional service. There has been an increase in demand for sessions as well as for wall art. So when the opportunity arose a few weeks ago to hire this girl, I jumped at the chance. It has taken me a long time to get to this point of letting go a bit (I am sure this is a common woman thing) in addition to finding the perfect person. Jess will be helping me with some of the back office work, including album design (yes, this has been a new addition to my product line as well), Christmas cards and wall art mock ups. Jess has a degree in Photography from ACAD and thus far has been proving to be an awesome addition! I will get pictures of the new products and designs out soon.
Love the perspective over mom’s shoulder. We spend a lot of time looking at our little ones like this!

Wow, is there a baby boom in Calgary? I have had a ton of newborn sessions lately! Here is another 9 day old newborn that I had the pleasure of working with last week! Mom is a labour and delivery nurse in Calgary so was COMPLETELY comfortable whipping the little guy in and out of poses! Dad was pretty comfortable too (although he does not work with babies – he does have a really cool job though). Q and C, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and I will have the rest of your gallery up ASAP.

I have had the pleasure of shooting this family through many, many milestones! This is one of my girlfriends and her children…I have watched her almost 7 year old from the time she was a baby. I was still shooting film when E was born and I was just doing photography as a hobby. It is amazing how quickly everything changes. E is now almost 7 and is just getting adult teeth, her sister A is just loosing her first teeth and their younger brother, E, is just turning 2 (and to continue the teeth theme…probably working on some molars).

I do apologize that I am so far behind with everything…that is all changing this week. More sneak peeks to come!

You will notice that A’s tooth loss was recent as she is still sticking her tongue through her teeth as she shows me her highland fling.

Big smooch for mom!

We could not miss the opportunity to get outside and take a few with the leaves! Glad we did not as they have been flying off the trees this week!

A little Hannah Montana…still not something I am very familiar with…it is still all about cars in our house.

As I mentioned before I have had the pleasure of photographing a ton of new babies over the last little while. LOVE that and it must be showing because almost every mom has said “You must love your job?”. Yep! I do have a funny story to share though from earlier today when my daughter and I were at our Fitmom class. She was playing with one of the other 3 year olds who has a baby sister. My daughter turned to me and asked if I was going to get one of those (referring to the baby). I said no. And she promptly asked “Why, are you allergic to babies?”. So funny! Clearly, that is not the case.

So here are some pictures of a family that I shot last week. The images are some of my favourites. I have had the pleasure of meeting some really neat people lately and this family was no different. They have beat some amazing odds. A&S it was a pleasure meeting you. Here is a little sneak peek…more come next week. Have a great weekend!
